Description dallstar 2013-09-02 07:35:22 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.4 Beta (Build 201307092200)
Operating System = Linux version 3.5.0-39-generic running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_25
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.25-b01

Hi,

I really like the function to automatically format code onSave (PHP) because I work with some old code written by people with no love for order and cleanliness. However there is one problem with autoformat on save - it always tries to autoformat, even if there are syntax errors, which leads to a broken formatting, that usually takes quite long as formatter tries to make sense of the broken code. Reverting the process also takes long, so not noticing the problem and hitting save sometimes costs good few minutes to revert the changes. 

Would it be possible to make autoformat only to format whole file if there are no syntax errors in the code?
